One dear friend-by-correspondence has kindly told me that my interminable running reports here are not her cup of tea. Point taken! I can't promise much visible change, but I've been trying to use the Running Logbook mechanism as a vehicle to practice my writing, and I'll strive to do better. Meanwhile, as a speaker at a recent meeting said, "If you're ever bored—more bored than you are now, that is— ...".

So, for my own reference and convenience and memory, here's a tentative list of upcoming events that I hope to participate in. (note: "Result" column with links added afterwards)

In other words, if possible I try to support events that cross delightful terrain, that cost less than $1/mile, and that friends of mine are involved in as organizers or participants. What other upcoming runs have I forgotten?

P.S. when a friend of a friend got Lyme Disease and had to drop from the Marine Corps Marathon I took the entry she kindly offered, and finished the Oct 25 race in 4:25:30.
